If you have especially damaged or coarse hair, adding an extra step to your haircare routine will work wonders. Start using a good hair oil, applied liberally to the bottom half of your hair, for 30 minutes to an hour before you shampoo it. This helps smooth and condition your locks, preventing them from absorbing too much water while you rinse. This is a good thing as damaged hair is naturally more porous and tends to absorb more moisture, which causes the hair shafts to constantly expand and contract, resulting in breakage and frizziness in the long run. We like Percy & Reed Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Treatment Oil+ ($48, Sephora) because it’s super lightweight yet nourishing. Plus, you can use it both as a pre-shampoo treatment and post-wash hair oil.
